This book made me hungry for the pluots of summer, and taught me more about pluots (including the pronunciation, plu-otts) and plums than I ever thought to ask. The narrator is a bit annoying at the start, but falls a bit into the background as he tells about plums and hybrids of plums (such as pluots), and the people who breed them and grow them. Lots of fascinating details. A worthy contribution to the one-food study genre.
